Your desire to move into love and away from toxic or non‑healthy relationships aligns with biblical wisdom. I’d like to bring in a few reflections on how to engage with narcissistic behavior (and how to protect ourselves).
1. Recognize what narcissistic behavior is.
Narcissism is more than just self‑centeredness. It’s an excessive, destructive self‑worship — “lovers of self” in the language of Scripture (2 Tim 3:1).
Narcissistic people often lack empathy, have relationships that are purely transactional, and drain others relationally.
2. Set healthy boundaries or even avoid harmful people.
When someone repeatedly harms others and betrays biblical love, we are called to protect our heart. Set firm boundaries:
-
Don’t justify or defend yourself in toxic settings
-
Decide what you will and won’t tolerate.
-
And in some cases, avoid such people altogether: “have nothing to do with them.” (2 Tim 3:1‑7).
That’s an important truth: it is not un‑Christian to withdraw from relationships that continuously bring harm, despair, or confusion. Christ does not call us to martyrdom under abuse but to wise, courageous stewardship of our souls and relational life.
3. Christ offers redemption for all of us.
“Nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37) – He can redeem any person and sanctify any personality trait.
So if your hope is that someone you love might change, you’re not without hope, but you must also hold to truth, set boundaries, and trust Christ’s transformation (even if it is slow or unseen).
Keep praying. And, keep your head held high. You’re doing great.
